Spring Frame



I haven't had much luck looking for Spring Decorations in the store so I decided to make some. I cut the letters out of thin wood with my Big Shot! I can't wait to show you all of the projects I have been making for my Open House. Have you RSVP to me yet?

Open House Sneak Peek



You should be getting your invitation in the mail to my Open House today. Here is a bag that I made using the Big Shot. I used the Embosslit Simple Flower from page 202 of the catalog. I have never used an Embosslit before. It is so cool because it cuts out the shape of the flower and embosses the petals all at the same time! If you are confussed don't worry I will be demonstrating this at my Open House. I also plan on showing all of the different types of dies for the Big Shot. Tomorrow I am going to attempt to do glass etching with the Big Shot. Stay tune.....



ps. Did you know you can subscribe to my blog and get emails about new posts that I make? How cool is that?! Look for the subscribe button on the bottom right. You can also ask a question or leave a comment after every post and I will get back to you.

Card Journal Update


That's a lot of paper! I have a few extra packs of paper just incase someone still wants to make a card journal. Send me an email asap to save a spot in either Saturday or Monday's class. I can still fit more on Saturday but there is a ton of room for Monday. Saturday's class has 15 and 4 on Monday. Coming Saturday and want to switch to Monday? No problem, just let me know. Now I have to go cut all that paper!

Open House Invites

Here is a sneak peek to the Open House invites. You will have to wait until you get yours in the mail to see the finished product! Have you ever tried to tie 75 bows? My hands hurt! I am still working on the insides so don't expect yours until Tuesday. Shoot me an email if you don't receive one. It just means I do not have your address.

No Clue!

I have no idea what I am doing but I am going to try! I am totally new to the blogging world so go easy on me! I am not going to make any promises as to how many times I am going to post. I may be slow going. The reason I choose the title Stamping in the Middle of Life is because it best describes how I stamp. My husband of 10 years and I have 5 children all under 9 and we are busy busy with life. I find little time between running to school, church, gymnastics, and dance to stamp. I have been an Independent Stampin'Up! Demonstrator for 7 years and no matter how busy life gets I can't seem to give up stamping. So, I am creating this blog to share my current projects and class schedule. I will also share my life interruptions, as they happen often with 5 little kids and many of them are quite funny. I was once told, "I would love to be fly on the wall at your house." This is as close as it gets!
